Somebody hit my car Options

[snakemain]

Parked at the DMV in Panama City Beach. I'm inside getting the registration paperwork done, and a DMV employee asks who owns the silver convertible. They're like somebody just ran into it in the parking lot. Old guy in an F-150 had hit the front fender and door while attempting to pull into the adjacent parking space. I wasn't even close to the line, so he had to go over a foot into my space to hit me. Already filed a claim online, so just waiting for them to get back to me.

My old stomping grounds! I grew up in PCB, before moving to Dallas. Go back as much as possible…and hopefully one day soon when you get that smoker fired up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

You contacted his insurance correct? It sounded like you contacted yours, but you did say he waited…we got rear ended along time back and in our inexperience we called our sorry insurance company to report the uninsured motorist situation (which we were covered for) and we ended up with increased premium for “ high risk” - WTF .. that was the first ever incident!! So I hate dealing with insurances at all. Anyway, good luck and I hope the repairs are done quickly.

I did contact my insurance...but I looked up the process first, and that's what it said do. My guy said since it was no question that it was his fault and I passed along his insurance information, I wouldn't have to pay a dime and they'd just go after his insurance company for me.

Be careful, insurance companies cut deals with each other. My last accident I got rear ended in my DD while stopped at a stoplight, her insurance paid for car repairs, mine paid my medical. Said if I sued her insurance for any settlement I had to pay off medical out of any award first… what a racket… sorry I won’t go any further with my rant…

Noted. Hopefully this is a cut and dried case since I wasn't even in the car at the time and there were no injuries. I'm sure my issue will be getting them to pay to get the whole thing fixed. Hopefully, I just have to get a quote or two and compare that to what the adjuster says and fight for any difference.
